We study the many body quantum evolution of bosonic systems in the mean field limit. The dynamics is known to be well approximated by the Hartree equation. So far, the available results have the form of a law of large numbers. In this paper we go one step further and we show that the fluctuations around the Hartree evolution satisfy a central limit theorem. Interestingly, the variance of the limiting Gaussian distribution is determined by a time-dependent Bogoliubov transformation describing the dynamics of initial coherent states in a Fock space representation of the system.

We consider the many-body quantum evolution of a factorized initial data, in the mean-field regime. We show that fluctuations around the limiting Hartree dynamics satisfy large deviation estimates, that are consistent with central limit theorems that have been established in the last years.
We present a new proof of the convergence of the N-particle Schroedinger dynamics for bosons towards the dynamics generated by the Hartree equation in the mean-field limit. For a restricted class of two-body interactions, we obtain convergence estimates uniform in the Planck constant , up to an exponentially small remainder. For h=0, the classical dynamics in the mean-field limit is given by the Vlasov equation.
We prove a local central limit theorem (LCLT) for the number of points $N(J)$ in a region $J$ in $mathbb R^d$ specified by a determinantal point process with an Hermitian kernel. The only assumption is that the variance of $N(J)$ tends to infinity as $|J| to infty$. This extends a previous result giving a weaker central limit theorem (CLT) for these systems. Our result relies on the fact that the Lee-Yang zeros of the generating function for ${E(k;J)}$ --- the probabilities of there being exactly $k$ points in $J$ --- all lie on the negative real $z$-axis. In particular, the result applies to the scaled bulk eigenvalue distribution for the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) and that of the Ginibre ensemble. For the GUE we can also treat the properly scaled edge eigenvalue distribution. Using identities between gap probabilities, the LCLT can be extended to bulk eigenvalues of the Gaussian Symplectic Ensemble (GSE). A LCLT is also established for the probability density function of the $k$-th largest eigenvalue at the soft edge, and of the spacing between $k$-th neigbors in the bulk.
In these lecture notes, we review the adiabatic theorem in quantum mechanics, focusing on a recent extension to many-body systems. The role of locality is emphasized and the relation to the quasi-adiabatic flow discussed. An important application of these results to linear response theory is also reviewed.
We propose an index for pairs of a unitary map and a clustering state on many-body quantum systems. We require the map to conserve an integer-valued charge and to leave the state, e.g. a gapped ground state, invariant. This index is integer-valued and stable under perturbations. In general, the index measures the charge transport across a fiducial line. We show that it reduces to (i) an index of projections in the case of non-interacting fermions, (ii) the charge density for translational invariant systems, and (iii) the quantum Hall conductance in the two-dimensional setting without any additional symmetry. Example (ii) recovers the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem, and (iii) provides a new and short proof of quantization of Hall conductance in interacting many-body systems.
